Check Out Our Trailer for Functional Medicine: Getting to the Underlying Cause of Disease Video Series
Our bodies are not merely a collection of independent parts; they are interconnected systems that work together in harmony. Yet, when it comes to chronic diseases—such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, gastrointestinal conditions, thyroid disorders, and dementia—traditional healthcare often focuses on temporary treatments rather than addressing, preventing, and treating the underlying causes. In fact, these chronic conditions account for 78% of our total healthcare efforts, despite the fact that many are preventable. In this health talk, Dr. Shannon O’Keefe offers a roadmap to lasting health by helping you understand the root causes of chronic illness and what can be done to prevent them. Contrary to common belief, chronic diseases are not solely dictated by genetics; rather, they result from a misalignment between our genes, environment, and lifestyle. With the implementation of a personalized health program, many chronic diseases can be rendered obsolete. This presentation, originally delivered to the MN Holistic Nurses Association, is invaluable for anyone interested in a comprehensive approach to health. Attendees will gain insight into the benefits and rewards of adopting a functional medicine approach, empowering them to take control of their well-being and achieve long-term health.

Functional medicine/Internal Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and requires participation from both the patient and practitioner. Shifting away from the traditional “sick-care model” to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. As Functional Medicine practitioners, we spend time listening to our patients, asking many questions, and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. https://improveurhealth.com/functional-medicine-clinical-nutrition/
